Monthly I receive several invitations to be a collaborator of several Github repositories, unfortunately sometimes I miss the 7 days time to accept the invitations and as a consequence the invitations expire, making it impossible for me to access the repositories
I have tried to automate the invitations through GitHubActions but there is no such option.
Please, does anyone know how I can automate the acceptance of the invitations, so they will not expire after 7 days, which is the maximum time that Github grants before the invitations expire?

You can test out the GitHub Action kbrashears5/github-action-auto-accept-collabs which should auto accept all collaboration invites.
It does:
get all repository invites for [${USERNAME}]
curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" -u ${USERNAME}:${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
--silent ${GITHUB_API_URL}/user/repository_invitations | \
jq '.[].id'
Accept each invite:
curl -d #- \
-X PATCH \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
-u ${USERNAME}:${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
--silent \
${GITHUB_API_URL}/user/repository_invitations/${invite}

link for the docs is here and the curl command is:
curl \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>"\
-H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/teams
I've given personal access token as my Authorization but it throws as not found.
Any suggestions on how to get it? My repo was assigned to 3 teams even tho it throws not found
i'm the owner of the org and trued to hit with my PAC even tho its giving me the same 404 statusCode.
for example :
this is the link for getting the contributors but for teams i've this but it is giving me 404
I am trying to make a call https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runners/registration-token with an users personal access token that has repo permissions.
To do so I am testing with:
curl -I -X POST -H "Authorization: token <OAUTH_TOKEN> Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo-name>/actions/runners/registration-token which gives me Bad Credentials error
curl -I -H "Authorization: token <OAUTH_TOKEN>" https://api.github.com/users/<USER_NAME> ->
x-oauth-scopes: repo
x-accepted-oauth-scopes:
According to this: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/self-hosted-runners I need to provide an oauth token with repo access.
If I curl the user curl -H "Authorization: token <OAUTH_REPO_TOKEN>" https://api.github.com/users/<USER>/repos -> []. But if I go to the repo and check settings -> Collaborators And Teams, the user is listed as part of the team with admin privledges, and I have also added an entry for the user directly.
Is there something I am missing? What permissions do I need to add to fix this?
I needed to call the API with a user name as well. For example:
curl -I -X POST -u <USER>:<OAUTH_REPO_TOKEN> -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo-name>/actions/runners/registration-token. Passing a -v option reveals that it was not setting a username, and causing github to reject the call.
I want to add a group as a collaborator to my github repo
Docs page is missing this part. I can successfully add a person as a collaborator using this request
curl \
-X PUT \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/hello-world/collaborators/USERNAME \
-d '{"permission":"permission"}'
but when I want to add a group(created under same organization) – I can't
Is there a possibility to do that?
The answer is to go from another end:
add repo to the team. Here are API references
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/teams#add-or-update-team-repository-permissions
Star a topic can be done on the website. But how to do the same operation via GitHub API v3 or v4? I read through the reference but got no clues.
For the v3 REST API it's documented at Star a repository for the authenticated user
The curl example is:
curl \
-X PUT \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/user/starred/octocat/hello-world
But this doesn't show how to insert your token, so you actually need something more like:
curl \
-X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/user/starred/octocat/hello-world
Where GITHUB_API_TOKEN has been previously set like:
GITHUB_API_TOKEN="ghp_16C7e42F292c6912E7710c838347Ae178B4a"
Per comments to this earlier question how to star a repo with github api make sure that the token used has the correct permissions to do the starring, which means having the repo scope (or at least repo_public) enabled.
I'd also love to know how to do this with the v4 GraphQl API.
I want to know how to get this data from the GitHub API.
I know I can get this data as raw but is there any way to get this using GitHub API?
Here is the requested file:
https://github.com/graphql-compose/graphql-compose-examples/blob/master/examples/northwind/data/csv/employees.csv
As seen here, try
curl -GLOf -H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_TOKEN?not set}" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v4.raw" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/$ORG/$REPO/contents/$FILEPATH" -d ref="$REVISION"
In your case, for a public repository:
curl -GLOf -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v4.raw" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/graphql-compose/graphql-compose-examples/contents/examples/northwind/data/csv/employees.csv"
I just tested it, and got a file employees.csv with its raw content in it.
